I don't think Crabtree can beat us. More worried about Bouldin and Davis. We're pretty good against the run game. Biggest key is to take away Kap's first read and have disciplined rush lanes.

On offense it's just gonna be a struggle. We're gonna have to dink and dunk a lot. Greg Olsen needs a big game for us.

Thinking a 17-14 or 21-17 type game.

Adding Crabtree really helps the 49er offense. Pretty much it was Vernon Davis and Boldin.... if you locked those 2 down, it was over... and that is what Carolina did. Crabtree is a very good WR, and he wore out GB's secondary.. GB did a good job on Davis, but Crabtree is the one that gave them fits.

It should be a 20-17 kinda game.. he who makes the less mistakes will win the game..

And that's where I worry about Cam. 1st time in this kinda game and atmosphere. Absolutely can not turn the ball over.

Lots of optimism in the Queen City on the radio this morning. Too many people are already chalking this up as a "W". A healthy San Fran scares the heck out of me.

I don't see how so many can count SF as a win. They are a very tough, physical football team who got a couple key players back. It will be a hell of a game is all I know. I hope the offense comes ready to make plays for us.

The Panthers defensive end told Joe Person of the Charlotte Observer he was looking for “a big number” when he becomes a free agent in a few weeks.

“It’s all about the numbers with me. I don’t really have an end game to where I want to hustle or play around or play the market,” Hardy said. “I want a big number that I worked for, nothing imaginary. And if you don’t believe me, tell me what you want me to do and I’ll go do it for you. And then give me my number and we’ll be good.”

I agree. I assume people are optimistic because we beat SF ealier this year. The Panther bandwagon is jam packed now and lots of those fans are clueless about the game.

Team president Danny Morrison says renovations will start January 21. The renovations will happen in three phases, during the next three offseasons.
Bank of America Stadium, which opened in 1996, is now almost 18 years old. The stadium was financed mostly through the sale of permanent seat licenses. Last April, Charlotte City Council unanimously approved a plan to give $87 million in city money for renovations in exchange for a guarantee that the Panthers would not leave Charlotte for at least six years.
The initial plan called for a $250 million improvement plan, with half of the money coming from the city, and the rest from the state and the team. State lawmakers ultimately said no to an increase in Charlotte's food and beverage tax to help pay for that plan.

I'd be surprised if the Panthers win. Really, I think Carolina would be a slight home underdog to New Orleans, Seattle, and even Green Bay as well.

As good as the defense is, just don't think the offense is quite good enough. You could say the same about SF for much of the year, but with Crabtree back in the lineup I think they're better. Going to need a big game out of Cam and the receivers.
